Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) shows a strong male bias (∼4:1). CHD8, a frequently mutated ASD gene, regulates neuronal development and Xist regulation in X-chromosome inactivation (XCI). However, its role in female neurodevelopment remains poorly understood due to the predominance of male-derived or sex-agnostic…

The rapid rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae has created a major global health challenge due to the limited availability of conserved therapeutic targets effective across diverse resistant strains. In this study, an integrative computational target-discovery and drug-repurposing framework was…

We study the problem of searching for a target at some unknown location in $\mathbb{R}^d$ when additional information regarding the position of the target is available in the form of predictions. In our setting, predictions come as approximate distances to the target: for each point $p\in \mathbb{R}^d$ that the…

“Undruggable” proteins without surface-accessible binding sites pose significant challenges to target-based drug discovery. Innovative approaches are needed to tackle these proteins. One promising strategy is targeting them in their nascent chain form at the ribosome, where they have a different conformation than in…

The ability to record neural populations during natural behavior now allows us to ask whether canonical motor-cortical dynamics, defined largely in constrained reaches to static targets, also organize self-paced, feedback-rich actions that require continuous correction. We recorded sensorimotor cortex in marmosets…

While projects in philosophy of science often focus on similar sorts of topics, there are often massive differences in how philosophers approach them. One approach that has enjoyed significant success-and that is modeled in the work of Wimsatt and others-involves taking a conceptual engineering perspective in analyzing…

Human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) can cause severe respiratory illnesses, such as croup, bronchiolitis, and pneumonia, particularly in children, the elderly and immunocompromised individuals. No vaccines or specific therapeutics are available for use in humans. Here, we report the discovery of a human monoclonal…

Identifying cell types from single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data typically requires several separate and often uninterpretable steps: dimensionality reduction, batch-correction, clustering, marker-gene identification and the discovery of finer-grained structure. Here we introduce scFLAME (single-cell Factor…

In 2024, Monkeypox virus (MPXV) clade I has triggered outbreaks in several countries world-wide. MPXV clade I demonstrates enhanced virulence and transmissibility, with a case fatality rate reaching 10%. In response, we have developed a one-pot detection assay specifically targeting MPXV clade I, combining recombinase…

Parallel visual streams segregate information into pathways specialized for distinct computations, but how this segregation is achieved by anatomical segregation of primary visual cortex output remains unclear. This problem is complicated because individual neurons frequently send broadcasting projections to multiple…

Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication in older surgical patients and substantially worsens clinical outcomes, yet existing intraoperative electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring tools lack spatial and temporal specificity, creating a need for interpretable biomarkers. We prospectively analyzed…

Rapid and accurate microbial identification is critical for interpreting biological data in basic research and when making applied decisions on how to effectively treat patients and control human, animal, and plant diseases. Advancements in high-throughput sequencing have the potential to expedite fungal species…

For datasets with thousands of neurons and images, vision transformers have proven successful at predicting neural responses to stimuli. However, they are expected to underperform in low-data regimes, where CNNs and Gaussian processes are considered more effective. We ask whether transformers can be made competitive…
